Check out this slow but funny movie by Canadian animators SUPERBROTHERS and Jim Guthrie. From the SUPERBROTHERS site:
SUPERBROTHERS is super pleased to announce the world premiere of the DOT MATRIX REVOLUTION, the second pixel film by SUPERBROTHERS, featuring a musical composition by legendary indie songsmith Jim Guthrie, with additional sounds courtesy of Arthur Zaragoza. Plug in your headphones, turn up the volume, close the door and turn off the lights… and be sure to hit the full-screen button to experience this award-winning film the way it was intended.
BOW BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY CLOUD. This pixel film, begun in 2006 and completed in 2008, is a goofy, retro look at the world of computers and technology. Stills from this film were featured in American Illustration 25.
If you haven’t looked at the History of Computing before you might want to read this Wikipedia article first.

UPDATED: I embedded the wrong video earlier. This is the right one:

I’m guessing you’ve embed the wrong movie, Boris. This is the link to the movie you wanted to embed: http://vimeo.com/1715202
This is the description to the movie you’vem embeded:
“‘YOU WILL BE INCORPORATED!’
An award-winning portrait of corporate culture run amok in which a single executive recruits an army of clones to attack, behead and ‘incorporate’ an old money industrialist. The film features an aggressive, stellar musical composition by Jim Guthrie. This is the first pixel film by SUPERBROTHERS.”
Both great stuff, by the way!
I think you accidently embedded the wrong movie, Boris. The movie you’re talking about is here: http://vimeo.com/1715202.
Both great stuff by the way, although the DOT MATRIX REVOLUTION is just a bit better, more complete.
He he he, you are right!
Oh, adding links shouldn’t be any problem!
Updated the post. Thanks!
Okay, I give up. Typed in this comment 2 times, but apparently, you’re comment-filter doesn’t allow any linking in the commentbox at all?
What I was trying to tell is that you’ve embedded the wrong movie, Boris :-)
Strange, I was assuming that the URL’s where causing the trouble. Didn’t get any feedback, just a blank form and no comment :-)
Well, you’re informed now, that’s what counts!
